disappointment town too small to be a city

The hopes were big.. The disappointment was tangible but not unforgivable.   Kettle chips latest and greatest is a flavor very close to my heart.  Memories of pancakes doused generously in syrup and a side of cured piggy meat to casually dip into the excess run off.  Yes oh yes salty and sweet a favorite combination.  Sadly the chips do not deliver that salty bacon and maple tongue dancing combo. 

In a jar, at a bar, near or far

Salsa at the store is tricky.. it rarely is as good as can be made at home and it most definitely is not as good as a quality salsa bar in a good Mexican restaurant.  When I have time I prefer to chop up some onion, tomato, cilantro with a squeeze of lime and few pinches of salt.  Most days I don't have much time and on those days I like to have a ready made jar for all my salty chip and dip snack times. 

honest labeling

Thought process. Oh there's a new chip in the vending machine, flavored "The Crab Chip" sounds interesting.. I like crab, I'm gona give it a go. Well, it didn't lie.. if you season you have ever done a crab boil with Chesapeake Bay Crab seasoning you know what I'm talking about and you get exactly that.. a mouthful of crab boil.  Which is not terrible, if you like that kind of thing.  

I'm unsure how I feel so far, but I'm thinking I'll give it another go when my sodium levels have normalized again.

I'm not all about buying into packaging and advertising.. but when my favorite salty snack Barbara's baked Cheese Puffs changed their packaging design I first thought that the store discontinued the only large bag of chips that I can consume entirely in one sitting and only feel slightly guilty about  I was at first heartbroken for the missing cheese puffs until I began to look for an alternate cheese puff brand to consume that's when realized that the puke brown bag with a barely noticeable slightly darker puke brown heart and a nice picture of cheese with an awkward pile of cheese puffs piled in front was in fact the same bag of cheese puffs I'd been buying.  Ugh... Package change.. why do companies do this, it seems like a waste of time and money.. how much does it really help with sales?
